   It sounds as though you are mixing -stable and -current together somehow.
For one thing, the kernel config files for the two are not compatible. The
timezone/dst stuff is one of the changes between -stable and -current. The
config(8) utility itself isn't compatible, either, and must be updated before
switching from -stable to -current or vice-versa.
